spécimen has something to do with Pocock's subspecies Laglai- 

 zeiQ). 



There are also some native skins, 3481-3487, from Sangha. 



C. nictitans is to be regardée! as the substitute of the leucanipyx- 

 forms where it lives. 



Cercopithecus Kandti Matschie. 



Two native skins (n"' 795 and 796) are labeled « Pauwels, 

 Région du lac Kivu »; two other spécimens collected by L'Moui.- 

 RON (n"' 1272 and 1273) bave the same origin. A fifth skin is labeled 

 « Baraka, Pauwei.s » (n° 872). As this is of native origin it may 

 bave been traded before it fell into the hands of the collector, 

 and it does not therefore form any proof that this, as it seenis, 

 verv local species, extends its distribution beyond the surroundings 

 of Lake Kivu and to the shores of Tanganyika. 



The red colour of this beautiful monkey varies a great deal in 

 intensity and shade, but a small young is already very similar to 

 the halfgrown. 



Under the name Cercopithecus insignis, Elliot described (^) 

 in the year 1909 a monkey living in the Zoological Garden of Ant- 

 werp. After its death this spécimen has been delivered to the Congo 

 Muséum, where it has been registered as n" 3429. This is very for- 

 tunate, because thanks to this it is open to any zoologist to verify 

 that insignis is nothing, but a spécimen oi Kandti. In the key in 

 his « Review of the Primates » (vol. II, p. 360), Elliot states 

 concerning insignis : « lower back dark orange unspeckled », in 

 contrast to Kandti which is said to hâve « lower back speckled ». 

 The type spécimen of « insignis » is, however, just as much 

 speckled as adult spécimens of C A'(ri;/^/2' generally are. As regards 

 the shades of colour exhibited there is no diflference between
